“They have made clear that they expect city leaders to provide them an ethical, open government at all times, and they recognized my continuing commitment to these ideals.”

Cooper added: “I look forward to working with council to find consensus on the issues important to our city, first and foremost, making our new City Hall a reality. As in the past, my door will always be open to all voices.”
